Oh how I love me a Christmas movie!!! 
Christmas movies always make the heart feel good and tell a great message... We were recently sent the movie Angels Sing and I knew nothing about it... All I knew was that it had Harry Connick Jr in it... and he cracks me up, so I was excited to see it based on that... I chose not to read the synopsis prior to the arrival, as I wanted to be totally surprised... Actually, I do that for many movies these days!!  I just grab them based on the cast and then get surprised with the story of it all...  When Angels Sing showed up, I was excited to watch it... and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!!!  I put it on to get myself more into the Christmas Spirit and it surely did!!!
Little did I know that the cast was more than just Harry Connick Jr. (I know it says it on the cover, but like I said... I just went with the big picture!)  I got to see Willie Nelson (love him... actually saw him in concert years ago!)  Kris Kristofferson and even Lyle Lovett!!
Angels Sing has us meeting Connicks character and his family... and you wonder what happened that has him so against Christmas...   As the movie unfolds we get greeted with Willie and he just makes me smile every time!   Head to grab you a copy now, you will be so excited you did... and just when you question if Christmas will change for them all, your heart strings get tugged just a bit tighter... 


About ANGELS SING
Harry Connick, Jr. stars as Michael Walker, who, as a child, wished every day was Christmas. That is, until a tragic accident crushed his holiday spirit. Thirty years later, Michael still can't muster any joy for Christmas, despite encouragement from his playful wife (Connie Britton) and well intentioned parents (Kris Kristofferson and Fionnula Flanagan). But when his young son (Chandler Canterbury) faces a tragedy, Michael needs to make amends with his past. A mysterious man named Nick (Willie Nelson) gives Michael a gift that instills in him the courage to find the Christmas joy that he lost.

    I need to watch more Christmas Movies. We just watched It's a Wonderful Life for the first time this last weekend. My husband and I have never seen it.

    My roommate in college LOVED Harry Connick Jr. We do have a little animation that has his voice in it. It's a Christmas flick.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!!
